You have to do this mapping on your application server, such as your proxy
server, or on each local client Host file.

The easiest thing to do here is to set your caching only name server host
file to resolve hosts and then dns. /etc/hosts

This will allow you to place a host entry into the caching name server
/etc/hosts with the ip address that you want and then cause all other
reuests to be forwarded off and resolved.

There is a way to configure a Cache Only  BIND Name server to staticaly
resolve a query?

For example:

Assume the domain FOO.COM. DNS 1 is primary for domain FOO.COM and its
records www.foo.com is IP 123.123.123.123
DNS 2 is a cache only Name Server. DNS 2 serve only a small dial-up network.
I need to configure DNS 2 to resolve www.foo.com with IP 100.100.100.100 for
example. All the other records for that domain needs to be queried normaly.
This help us very much to assign dinamicaly server resource based on the POP
the user is connected. I tried to do that configuring a "illegal" rpimary
zone for the domain FOO.COM in DNS 2 but in this way we need to maintain two
Master zone instead of one.

Please Help
